WWE RAW 11/5/20 | A Coherent Review.

That episode was 50/50 in terms of the things I like and the things that I didn't like and that hasn't happened in my reviews in what it feels like months. 

Monday Night RAW this week had some great moments but it also had some worst moments too. 

Becky Lynch Addresses The Money In The Bank Contract Winner. 

The show kicked off with Becky Lynch but she brought in the Money In The Bank briefcase which was won by Asuka (no sh*t, Omar). 

Becky said that she's going away for a while but later confronts the Money In The Bank ladder match winner and tells her that the match was actually for the women's championship because Becky's leaving as a mom. 

This explains why Becky hasn't been on television in several weeks. If there's one segment that would've benefited a crowd reaction, it's this. In other words, she's pregnant. 

I absolutely love it. Congratulations to Becky Lynch. Asuka is your new women's champion. Her celebration is definitely warranted. Side note, glad to see Kairi Sane back after she suddenly appeared in Asuka's backstage interview. 

Bobby Lashley vs Humberto Carrillo. No Disqualifications Match. 

This was one of the shortest no DQ matches I've ever seen. Lashley wins with the Full Nelson submission. 

So um, The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders battled it out in a basketball match. As a guy who doesn't watch a lick of basketball, I don't give a crap about this. That is lame. The build for the RAW tag titles has now definitely sunk in quality.

Angel Garza vs Akira Tozawa. 

Another short match but this time, it included Humberto's cousin, Angel Garza. The WWE champion, Drew McIntyre showed up and kicked Garza and Austin Theory's heads off with the claymore that led to an enjoyable match between Andrade and the Scotsmen. 

Having Andrade eat a loss is concerning for the sake of the title so I'm hoping that it isn't a recurring thing. 

After the match,  Drew McIntyre announced that next week on RAW, he goes one on one with King Corbin in a brand to brand invitation initiative. Is this the new wildcard rule? Yarn. MVP is now managing Bobby Lashley which wasn't good news for Lana. Honestly, I'm all for it. 

The Return Of The Moment Of Bliss On RAW. 

This segment was notable for the return of The IIconics and they wanted a shot for the women's tag titles but they instead got a match. 

The Australian duo actually won the bout so it looks like we're going to see a tag team title match, playas. I mean, the division lacks tag teams so why not, right? 

Backstage, Rey Mysterio offers his hand to congratulate Seth Rollins on being a father but Rollins walks away. 

Am I going to pretend that Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black aren't hurt from that spot last night or is that WWE's job? 

R Truth, Cedric Alexander And Ricochet vs MVP, Brendan Vink And Shane Throne. 

After R Truth led his team to victory with the lie detector, Bobby Lashley and MVP put a mugging on Truth. Like I said earlier, I am all for the beatdown clan coming back but in a WWE setting.  

Maybe that could lead to the walking armageddon, Bobby Lashley? Who knows but will see. By the way, Pretty Ricky is back.  Heh? Heh? 

Jinder Mahal said in an interview with Charly Caruso that he's back from a 10 month-long knee injury. Mahal was also happy for his buddy Drew's success and will walk to a new journey. A hero's journey. 

I'm digging this new positive side of Jinder Mahal considering that it's a new take on developing an eventual heel character instead of the stereotypical foreign heel persona. Shayna Baszler wasn't too happy for Becky Lynch's announcement calling Becky's kid that he or she is going to suck "just look who the dad is". Savage.  

AJ Styles was watching the sneak peek for The Undertaker's new documentary series and he's upset. AJ was me after watching the talking Tina episode of the Twilight Zone. 

Rey Mysterio And Aleister Black vs Seth Rollins And Murphy. 

Throughout the match, Rollins was zoned out assuming because of his loss yesterday at Money In The Bank. To put it simply, this was a 2 on 1 handicap match. 

The match concluded with a DQ because Seth Rollins prevented a 619 from Rey Mysterio after Mysterio accidentally knocked Seth out (that was a DQ? Really?). 

Seth went as far as to damage Mysterio's left eye using the steel steps which absolutely looked brutal. 

Meanwhile, when the attacker wanted to check on the attacked, Aleister Black had enough and had a bit of a brawl with Murphy. I don't know where they're going with this but I'm intrigued. 

Shayna Baszler vs Natalya. 

This match came about when Natalya wanted to teach Shayna Baszler some manners after what Baszler said regarding Becky's pregnancy. This was a meh match. Baszler defeats Natalya with the knee strike. 

Edge And Randy Orton Face To Face Confrontation Since Their Last Man Standing Match At Wrestlemania. 

Edge said that he has finally got his revenge and him along with his family, are ready to move forward.  

Out came his foe, Randy Orton And he told Edge that the Rated R Superstar was the better man but Edge ain't a better wrestler. 

Orton offered Edge a good old fashioned one on one match at Backlash next month and Edge's reaction was silence. 

I know most people are probably not too thrilled for this announcement but as a fan that actually enjoyed the last man standing encounter, I'm looking forward to the match at Backlash. Overall, the segment was decent.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Drew McIntyre vs Andrade, Jinder's new character development, MVP and Bobby Lashley as a duo, The Rey Mysterio/ Seth Rollins storyline intrigue, savage Shayna.   

Didn't like: Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black were okay? Huh?, The Street Profits and Viking Raiders in a basketball match, new wildcard rule?, a lame DQ finish in the Seth, Murphy, Rey and Black tag match.
